- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 1/2 tablespoons tahini paste
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup water, plus more if required
- Salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Place the frozen green garbanzo beans in a microwave-safe bowl and steam in the microwave for 2 minutes until they are tender.
- In a food processor, combine the steamed garbanzo beans, garlic, tahini paste, extra virgin olive oil, water, salt, and lemon juice.

Notes
For a smoother texture, you can peel the garbanzo beans after steaming. Store any leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Adjust the garlic and lemon juice to taste for a more personalized flavor.
